I've been in Japanese engine importation since 1982 and never heard of these before today. What concerns me is that there is no contact detail or address, beyond an email address.
Just walk in with your eyes open, as a number of members on here have run foul of a company in East London that were called Nippon Spares 2000 Ltd and these type of companies have a habit of changing their names every few months or so and then where are you??
Let me make this perfectly clear, I am not saying that there is anything at all wrong with MDKL, they may well be a perfectly legitimate company. But the web site makes it unclear who they are and where they are. Just found a link to their address. They are in Barking, East London - very close to where Nippon and another called Gold Star were.......................
For reassurance; call Trading Standards in Barking for a report/ recommendation.

I ordered a V2 sti engine from this company, when I asked to collect it and sent pictures of a genuine v2 sti engine the offered one became unavailable! From what I gathered they assumed I would not be able to tell the difference and I was being fobbed off with a standard wrx engine.

No, Danny means that he is trying to modify single turbo cylinder heads into twin turbo. That means taking the N/S head and drilling a oil feed supply at the front of the head and an interference-fit hole in the back fof it for the oil return.
The tricky bit is the return hole, as, if the pipe is not a good tight fit, it will fall out. Then all the oil falls out [ in a remarkably short space of time.] As the oil pump produces a flow rate of 9 gallons a minute and there is a gallon in the sump...........
